Availability

I’m typically in the US Pacific timezone.

My working hours are Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM, though I typically respond to personal messages into the evening. For non-urgent messages, I typically try to respond within a few days.

Communication Preferences

My preferred communication styles include

  • I prefer video over audio-only when a call has the option to help with non-verbal communication.
  • Be clear with your ask so I know how I can best respond.
  • Ask your question early, preferably in your first message so I’m not guessing what you need. See nohello.net for some examples.
  • Assume best intentions to avoid a misunderstanding turning into a conflict.

Reaching out by phone

For friends and family who have my phone number, you’re welcome to text, call, or video call. I usually try to respond within a few hours. If I don’t pick up and your issue is urgent, please leave a voicemail or send me a text. For video calls, WhatsApp and Google Meet are usually the easiest way to reach my phone. If you are a business reaching out unsolicited, I may block your number.
